I am wanting to get a trolling motor for my 22' Bay Stealth center console. What's the best motor for the $$ that will interface with my hummingbird and hold my boat on anchor? Mostly want to crappie fish brush piles. Thanks for input.

Minn Kota is the only one that will work with H-bird.
I just installed the Ulterra on my 492v and ran it over the week end it's awesome. I have to do like most and rig a cable mechanism for my DI/SI transducer. I put the 80lb on my boat its 20-4 the TM has plenty of power to spot lock in white caps and wind. I tested it fishing 4 hours running it pretty much the whole time and spot locked atleast 5 locations one for an hour and it only ran down my Batts to 75%. I also ran it on 10 (high) for 2 hours straight in heavy wind and it ran Batts to 55%. I am pretty impressed with it so far.

If it were me I'd put the 112 on a 22 bay boat.
